Welder/Fabricator

Job Description Job Description What if your welds powered entire industries?

Picture this: By noon you've fit and welded a critical section of a bucket elevator. By end of day, it's through inspection and on its way to a customer in the mining sector. Tomorrow, you're on a stainless job headed for a waste processing line. At ISC Manufacturing, that variety is the norm. We engineer and fabricate equipment for Agriculture, Mining, Aggregates, Construction, Waste Processing, and Conveying-complex builds that demand craftsmanship and consistency.

Your mission

Own the process from print to final bead. You'll prep, fit, and weld parts in all positions-horizontal, vertical, and overhead-on carbon and stainless from 14 gauge to 4"+. You'll work safely, keep your gear in top condition, communicate clearly, and help the team hit deadlines and budgets.

How you'll do it

• Read and interpret blueprints/drawings ; stage components to tight tolerances
• Prep with angle grinders, drill presses, handheld plasma, oxy-fuel torch, and an ironworker
• Lay down quality welds using GMAW (.035, .045), FCAW (.045, 1/16"), and .035/.LSI stainless wire
• Tackle occasional elevated work (12'+) using ladders or a boom lift
• Assemble with wrenches and hand tools before/after welding to ensure a clean fit-up
• Rig and lift heavy, odd-shaped parts with forklifts and overhead cranes-safely and effectively

Are you the right fit?

• 2+ years of MIG experience and solid FCAW capability
• High school diploma or equivalent and a valid driver's license
• Experience in similar settings (screw conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, heavy equipment fabrication)
• Accurate tape-measure reading and blueprint comprehension (AWS D1.1 awareness a plus)
• Comfort with CNC-cut and manually formed parts, layout, and fitting
• PPE-forward mindset (face shield, gloves, etc.) with strict adherence to safety standards
• Detail-focused, dependable, self-driven, collaborative, and quality obsessed

Physical realities of the work

• Lift up to 50 lbs regularly
• Stand/walk up to 10 hours per day
• Frequently squat/kneel, bend/stoop, crawl, twist/turn, grasp, push, reach overhead and outward

Your toolkit and technology

• MIG Welder and Flux-Cored Arc Welder
• Bring your basics: squares, tape measure, levels, welding hood, layout tools

Bonus skills

• Hydraulic shear and press brake experience
• Part assembly background
• TIG welding exposure
• Certifications (helpful, not required)

What to expect next

• Must pass a welding test before hire
• AWS D1.1 certification test after hire
• 30-90 day probation period

We value teammates who adapt quickly, lead by example, take ownership, act with integrity, and consistently follow company policies and procedures-especially around safety.

Schedule and pay

• Must be able to work Monday-Fridays 5-5:30; sometimes weekends as needed
• Compensation is based on experience and welding test results

Proficiencies that matter here

• Production troubleshooting
• Precise tape-measure skills
• Efficient production welding setups
• Blueprint reading
• Working to AWS D1.1
